Senior Site Reliability Engineer

The MongoDB Cloud Team is a diverse collection of individuals working together to provide MongoDB in the cloud at global scale.

The Cloud Team is responsible for several services including MongoDB Atlas - our database as a service offering and fastest growing product, MongoDB Realm- our serverless platform offering that allows developers to build apps on MongoDB without managing any infrastructure, and our newest offering, Atlas Data Lake.

The Cloud Site Reliability Engineering Team designs and builds the global infrastructure on which we deploy our services.

As our customers grow and globalize, our services must satisfy demands for low-latency requests around the globe, and comply with various data sovereignty requirements.

The SRE Team’s mission is to build this increasingly complex infrastructure, while continually lowering the operational burden associated with it, and increasing our internal visibility into the health of the system.

We are strong believers in infrastructure-as-code and self-healing systems. The SRE Team is fully integrated with all the other Cloud teams, and the teams work closely together with a soft and traversable boundary between their areas of responsibility.

This role can sit in our NYC HQ, Austin, or remote from any Eastern or Central Time location. When based in an office, we provide hybrid work accommodation.

• Become an expert in infrastructure performance, helping us optimize from the application level all the way through the firmware
